3 Restructuring Trends in a Recessionary Environment: Lessons Learned and Outlook

4 Spec-Grade Default Rate Is a Lagging Economic Indicator The corporate spec-grade default rate is generally considered a lagging indicator of the economic cycle. For the last three recessions, the default rate continued to climb well after a recession technically ended and didn t begin to recede until economic growth had already resumed.

The current U.S. spec-grade default rate of 2.1% is less than half its long-term average. S&P and Moody s project a U.S. speculative-grade default rate of 1.6% and 1.8%, respectively, by June 212. These forecasts translate into only 24 U.S. based defaults in the year ahead compared to 55 in 21 and 19 in 29. Corporate defaults are a lagging indicator of the business cycle often peaking months after a recession has ended and bottoming after an expansion has peaked. 4

To put this in perspective, there were 81 global corporate issuers that defaulted in all of 21 and 265 in 29, according to S&P. S&P s base case scenario forecasts only about 25 U.S. issuer defaults in the year ahead compared to 32 defaults in the twelve month period ended June 3. This baseline forecast assumes 2.5% real U.S. GDP growth in 211 and 212. However, this forecast was made in early July, before the U.S. debt ceiling debate, its subsequent credit rating downgrade by S&P, and the ensuing sell-off in global financial markets. S&P s pessimistic forecast, which envisions an economic scenario more similar to the one we are now experiencing,, would produce 62 U.S. based issuer defaults in the year ahead nearly double the current rate of defaults.

8 Distressed Debt Ratio Has Turned Up Notably Since June S&P s distressed debt ratio (1) doubled in August to 13%--and is now close to its long-term average of 16%. About $87 billion of U.S. speculative-grade debt is currently considered distressed compared to only $36 billion in June. Historically, the distressed debt ratio has been a reliable leading indicator of future default activity generally moving about 8-1 months before a pronounced change in default activity. This ratio should tick up well in advance of an upswing in defaults.

The distress ratio is the number of distressed issues relative to all speculative-grade issues. 7

9 Strong Correlation Between Distress Debt Ratio and Future Defaults There s a compelling historical relationship between S&P s distressed debt ratio and future default activity which is shown below (left) after adjusting for the time-lag.. The current distress ratio reading would suggest a default rate of approximately 4.5% by mid-212 a rate well above both rating agencies baseline forecasts.

10 U.S. Corporate Credit Quality Is Considerably Worse Than Other Regions 7 6 Low Rated U.S. Spec-Grade Bond Issuance Issuer Ratings Distribution Rating U.S. Europe Asia Latin America Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa Ratio of B- & below to total spec-grade issuance by issue count Ratio of B- & below to total spec-grade issuance by par amount Long-Term Average Global Nonfinancial issuers AAA 4.2% % AA 3 1.3% % A % % BBB % , % BB % % B % , % CCC and lower % % Total 2,225 1.% ,911 1.% Sources: Standard & Poor s Global Fixed Income Research and Standard & Poor s CreditPro. Nearly 63% of rated U.S. corporate debt is speculative-grade, with 43% rated B or worse. After shunning new deep junk (B- or worse) issues almost completely during the Great Recession, high-yield investors became welcoming again. About 35% of new spec-grade issuance in 1H11 was rated B-minus or worse and the trend is clearly upward. It can be argued that the aggressive capital structures and weakened financial profiles of so many U.S. corporate debt issuers today makes them more vulnerable to economic shocks, thereby shortening the time span between default cycles and perhaps intensifying them too. 5 (in %) Jul-11 Jul-1 Jan-1 Jul-9 Jan-9 Jul-8 Jan-8 Jul-7 Jan-7 Jul-6 Jan-6 Jul-5 Jan-5 Jul-4 Jan-4 Jul-3 Jan-3 Jul-2 Jan-2 Jul-1 Jan-1 Jul- Jan- Jul-99 Jan-99 Jul-98 Jan-98 Jul-97 Jan-97 Jul-96 Jan-96 Jul-95 Jan-95 9

Overall lending for M&A purposes (sponsors or strategic buyers) was up modestly and deal volumes remain well below pre-crisis levels. 3Q11 data on sponsored lending and M&A transactions will undoubtedly indicate a sharp slow down in activity.
